Exempts payroll agencies from the definition of hiring party for certain purposes
This bill amends New York State law to clarify that payroll agencies providing payroll services for other organizations are not considered "hiring parties" under labor regulations. It directly affects payroll agencies and the businesses that use their services, as it removes them from the scope of definitions governing freelance worker contracts. The key provision adds a specific exemption in the law, stating that "hiring party" does not include payroll agencies acting on behalf of another person or organization. The change takes effect immediately upon enactment.
